Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
If using chocolate chips, fold them into the dough with a spatula.
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough into small balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Gently flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
